It's amazi...Thanks everyone for your comments. It's amazing how Fred became Fred and wrote this story. <br /><br />I dressed him the day before I wrote the initial paragraphs and left the post in draft mode. After dressing him and photographing him both inside and out to get the best pictures, finally deciding on the inside photos because the outside ones were not much better, I had the opportunity to study his face which jogged my memory of the real Fred and my friendship with his sister. <br /><br />I attended that jr. high school for only a year and a half which is why my friendship with Ava did not last longer. I lived out of district, miles away from the school and Ava. I had used a former neighbor's address in order to attend. <br /><br />During the 1st semester of 8th grade, the administration found out I lived out of district and forced me return to my home school. I remember the principal calling me to his office and personally informing me that I had to return. I cried and begged him to allow me to stay. My tears and pleas did not help. Even after being nominated and winning 7th grade princess, and being nominated again in 8th grade and becoming the third place runner up for the title, I could not stay. Rules were rules and I had broken one.<br /><br />It was my mother's idea for me to attend in order to meet new people since the school in our neighborhood was a 12-year school that I had attended since 4th grade. It was in 7th grade that I met Ava and Fred but sadly had to return back to the 12-year school a year and a half later. <br /><br />Today, Fred probably doesn't remember me, but I remember him and his talent. Ava was a fashionista and a very pretty girl. She and Fred were polar opposites. <br /><br />Writing this gave me a better understanding of how easy it is to create stories using dolls that resemble or have characteristics of people we have encountered during different phases of our lives.<br /><br />It was fun going back down memory lane.<br /><br />dbg<br /><br />PS Nikki and Fred's time together was also short lived. It did not extend beyond their photograph session. Maybe I'll buy him a drum set. :-) Black Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-77170959387831697662012-11-29T20:38:00.166-06:002012-11-29T20:38:00.166-06:00Love when our dolls "tell" something abo...Love when our dolls "tell" something about our own personal history.<br />I almost can say that I'll be able to share the deep truth of some of my dolls LOL...but I'm still not quite sure about this.<br />Fred is interesting.Has a nice face mold that makes him looks as a vintage doll.I sincerely don't think he is the one for Nikki.Maybe because she is a beloved "girl" and we feel as parents never thinking the guys deserve her LOL.But..let's the guys decide it with time...LOL!!Jorge Ramirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520382080329091458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-67419959150748411702012-11-29T20:14:36.776-06:002012-11-29T20:14:36.776-06:00Loved your story.
